If I missed The Purple Parade event last week, I just attend Downtown Line 1 open house this week.On 22 December 2013, the new Downtown MRT Line will begin operations by SBS Transit Limited (ComfortDelGro Corporation Ltd, Singapore) with 4 new interchange stations are Bugis, Promenade, Bayfront and Chinatown. Two new stations located in Marina Bay and Kreta Ayer area are Downtown and Telok Ayer. The slogan was created by SBS Transit for the event "Music Through the Years". Any stations of new Downtown MRT Line (except Promenade and Bayfront stations) will be having activities there. From 60's to beyond.
